Bill Simmons paints a Stephen Curry trade scenario
The NBA trade deadline is coming, and it’s led to a lot of speculation about what will happen to the teams moving forward. The biggest focus is on where Giannis Antetokounmpo will end upbut there are also various scenarios in the offseason. One scenario is Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curryand whether he could even be traded, potentially to his hometown team.
On the latest episode of “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” Bill Simmons and Zach Love discussed the Charlotte Hornets and their potential with their young talent, and Simmons brought up an interesting scenario surrounding Stephen Curry. If, down the stretch, the Hornets start to resemble the Thunder, given how well they are playing and how young they are, there could be a scenario where Curry he wants to come back and be part of his hometown team.
Simmons said, “Let’s say Charlotte actually lands a top three pick on top of the team they have and in two years it’s OKC in 2023 and the Warriors, it’s just dark, and Steph is like, you know what would be cool, if I could go home and join this. And everybody’s like, yeah, that would be pretty cool.”
However, despite this hypothetical situation, both Lowe and Simmons appear to be in a relationship with Curry serving a life sentence with the Warriors. Simmons even compared the situation to what we saw with Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Charlotte Hornets are under .500, but they are a young team with a lot of potential in the Eastern Conference and it’s easy to see them contending sooner rather than later.
The Golden State Warriors are currently 27-22, but are trying to make some roster moves due to the injury situation. Jimmy Butler tore his ACLand they’re trying to see what they can do in the meantime to try to stay in the fight. One of the biggest moves could be a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but it remains to be seen if the Warriors have enough to pull it off.
